Researching this copper bracelet I found statements that these were made for the tourist trade and sold mostly along old Route 66.
I read these were Navajo, made by the Bell Trading Company in the 1950s. This cuff bracelet is marked on the inside "Copper, Bell" and has the Bell logo.
Besides the main attraction of the large arrowhead with the turquoise stone, along each side of the band you'll find various designs applied in punched or stamped means that include arrows and Thunderbird figures.
As for the arrowhead design, it measures 1.75 inches high. The center has one bezel set spider vein turquoise stone measuring one half by one quarter inch. There is also a set of crossed arrows that I remember reading was a symbol of peace.
Right now, measuring across from side to side it's just over 2.5 inches inside at the widest point which would be the center, with an opening in the back of almost 1.75 inches. It can be pulled to enlarge it, or pinched to make it smaller, but I don't know how much and wouldn't advise stretching it too far.
I purchased the bracelet at an estate sale. That's why I had to research its history. There was no one to ask about its past usage or how/when it was originally obtained.
Buyer to pay $5.95 USPS 1st Class Mail Parcel deliver fees. The package will be insured and have Signature requested, meaning someone at the address must sign for the package when it's delivered. Mailing is from California.
I gladly combine shipping on multiple items purchased. It is best if possible to contact me first to let me know which items you'll be purchasing so that I can adjust the shipping charges, otherwise at checkout you will be charged the full shipping fee for each item. Should that happen, and if appropriate to do so, I refund a portion of those charges.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING depends on the country. Buyer must contact seller for shipping quote before making purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
